Well, I regularly buy a small, cheap ASDA SmartPrice whole chicken and "rubberise" it, ie. stretch it as far as as I can.
For example, on Sunday, my Mum has a breast and I have a leg/thigh with a roast dinner. I then freeze the other breast for 500ml (2 servings) of chicken & sweetcorn soup. I will have the other leg/thigh for dinner on Monday. Then, I boil up the carcass to make a litre of chicken soup.
Two Christmasses ago, we "splashed out" on a free range organic chicken from a local farm shop. Very expensive. Most disappointing. Never again.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.

I usually get chicken thighs, I prefer breast really as I am a bit squeamish about veins but I read recently that the dark meat has a lot more iron in it and as I have a 1 year old that is important to me.
It is really cheap compared to breast that I used to get and it is less dry.
Having said that I am guilty of buying three Asda £2 chickens this week.0 -

Useful intel'. I think a little detour to ASDA after work tomorrow is in order. Pop it in the freezer, and that will be next Sunday and most of next week sorted.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.0 -
